SCHOLAR ATHLETE

Ellen Davis ’07 is setting a remarkable pace through Wesleyan. This 2005 All-American from Marshall, N.C., made her fourth trip to the NCAAs in cross-country after winning the 2006 New England Division III title. She finished ninth of 279 runners at the nationals—the best by a Wesleyan woman since Allegra Burton ’87 came in third in 1986—and again took All-American honors. Davis is a major in feminist, gender, and sexuality studies.
